Just gettin' off my job, 'round Wall Street, with the ties on Finest girl, a brother think he ever set eyes on Nice day, weather sunny, as he made a run for honey With a warm personality, well it's on the money I'd have tounged her right there, seemed kinda fun up there Wonderin' there, as he tellin' me he could get the underwear Meanwhile, still jockin' her, like a real sucka Sister which was so fine, she could have AIDS, I'll still knock her Heart beatin' for her since a brother didn't figure meetin' As I ask her if she's single, "yeah, caught my nigga cheatin'" "Nice to meet ya". Leaves, she had dope combined features Watched her walk away and observin' the fine creature Next day again, went in uninvite[d], super angry with us Ran into to so much that her and her friends had start to hang with us They pair and move, though fine, they both swine "Can I take you out to movies wine, dine, the whole nine?" She condones, good riddance, nigga slid this on her Didn't want to get to bone her, though I knew I didn't own her And I could've made a move, a little will power 'cause although That she told me she liked him as a friend and that was all And since hang with us, she already told her, cool he freaked her The week on my birthday bought me a pair of Gucci sneakers "Did she like me?" Racin' the thought. "Was it a sign?" Guess it weren't immoral When she saw me, definitely this is kinda special Since for this dish, none abate, but everybody wanna play "How long is money gonna wait?" So I asked a honey on a date And she accepts, though thought it wasn't much [of] a plan Windows of the world, even had the nerve to touch her hand Though not lookin' at. Bashful? No sir Supposed I was so shy and then the hon' pulls closer Thought "clever hint", so what she straight, never been so excited And convinced, kiss in heaven ever since Holdin' her hand too, chillin', future plan to build Couldn't believe my dream fulfilled and then that girl began to ill by sayin' Lady if you will Say you're the one that sent for me to thrill Someone that I can hold close in my arms With all the charms of you All the charms of you Of a lady, this world is just for ladies A heart screams out to ladies A world of love's for you
